Umpqua Valley Arts is bringing back our poster contest for the 55th Annual Summer Arts Festival! We currently have an open call to artists to submit up the three images of artwork that illustrate the spirit of the festival and use aesthetics/colors that are in line with the design elements currently being used for marketing.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE 54th ANNUAL SUMMER ARTS FESTIVAL OUR BEST ONE YET!
For over 50 years, this favorite summertime kick-off event has been a gathering ground for artists, entertainers, vendors, community members and visitors–bringing together over 10,000 people the last weekend of June in Roseburg’s lush Fir Grove Park.
Summer Arts Festival hosts over 100 artist vendors in all media, includes a Youth Zone, features live music and entertainment on two stages, highlights the Pacific Northwest culinary arts and craft beverages–and so much more.
Celebrating the abundance of artistic and creative talent found in the Land of Umpqua and beyond, SAF is a one-of-a-kind experience for all involved–from the artist vendor to the festival guest. Proceeds from this event support UVA’s year-round work to provide arts and cultural experiences and essential education opportunities in rural Oregon.
